    Hi guys,

    I am trying to remove some Toytec 5100s and I have got one nut off. The other 5 mounting studs are all spinning. What do I do? I can probably take a grind to the front ones, but will have a hell of a time trying to grind off the ones in the back. Ideas? Has anyone else experienced this?

    If I recall, I think the stud has an Allen wrench hole in the top where you can insert an Allen wrench to keep it from turning

    Are you going to reuse them? If not get a set of vicegrips and put them on the shaft as tight as you can and turn the top nut until it wedges the vicegrips in place

    Wait before you go and put vise grips on the body, get a rubber strap wrench instead. It should hold well enough and not damage the surface so you can reuse them or resell them.
